OnePlus 12 — expected to debut later this year as the Chinese smartphone maker's successor to the OnePlus 11 — could be the first smartphone to feature the yet-to-be-announced Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC from Qualcomm, according to a tipster. The purported OnePlus 12 is said to be equipped with up to 24GB of RAM. It is also tipped to feature a triple rear camera setup headlined by a 50-megapixel sensor and pack a 5,400mAh battery with up to 100W wired fast charging support.

According to details shared by tipster Digital Chat Station (translated from Chinese) on Weibo, the OnePlus 12 will be powered by the purported Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, paired with 16GB or 24GB of RAM. The handset will have a large vapour chamber (VC) for heat dissipation. The company plans to launch the phone at the end of the year and it could be the first to feature the new flagship chipset, the tipster claims.

The OnePlus 12 is said to be equipped with a curved display with a 2K resolution and support for high-frequency pulse-width modulation (PWM) dimming. The display is tipped to feature an ultra-thin optical fingerprint scanner for biometric authentication.
